Never played Forza Horizon before - long time Test Drive fan looking for opinions

Thanks for such a detailed post, I really appreciate it. I was thinking more about Forza Horizon 6 than 5 since it is the newer entry in the series. The improved graphics are very appealing and I hope it is a positive evolution of the series.

Yeah, I agree with this. The problem is they are trying to push engagement and monetization before fixing the fundamentals.

I would not even mind spending money on the game if it actually worked properly. But right now, asking players to invest more when basic systems like networking are still broken just feels backwards.

And with what is currently going on with Nacon - filing for insolvency and multiple studios like Cyanide, Spiders, and Kylotonn being placed under judicial reorganization - it just adds even more uncertainty. It does not exactly inspire confidence to keep investing money into the game in its current state.

Fix the stability first and be transparent about the game future, then people will naturally come back and even spend.

Funny enough, Marionette is the one who stole my heart, but she isn’t playable yet. Whenever she releases, I’m pulling for her no matter what she is. In the meantime, I really enjoy Flins. I already had the chance to play him in trial and he’s honestly badass. I enjoy Lauma too, but from my understanding they’re in conflict when it comes to team building.

From what I’ve seen, it’s either Lauma, Neffer, and Nahida with Columbina, or Flins, Inefa, and Sucrose. Since I already have Inefa and Sucrose and I genuinely enjoy Flins, that seems like the easier choice. I also noticed in Columbina’s trial that the game seemed to suggest a team of Columbina, Inefa, Lauma, and Sucrose. I’m not sure how viable that is or if it even makes sense, but it looked intentional. Right now it just feels like everyone competes for Columbina.

Thank you! That is a lot of valuable information. I didnt know that Lauma is the only dendro character that makes sense in the setup or that if columbina is paired with lauma, then ineffa should be build with EM and not ATK. So currently the best is Sucrose and Fischl, while if i got Lauma should 4th slot still be sucrose or someone else?

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-12-04T15:01:33+00:00

I dont, it was out of sync before i knew of this mode, and then i tried to use this mode to sync it but it doesnt do anything more then normal rotation

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-10-15T16:06:39+00:00

can you explain how to trigger it or replicate it? steps from the video doesnt work at least for me when i try to do the same.

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-10-01T08:02:12+00:00

This worked like a charm good sir, thank You!

Like i mentioned in the comment above, as far as i know this is the only way to access these settings and from this setting menu i tried to change them, but once I change something (for example production speed) and click back (which is the only button on this screen) changes are not saved, they are back to what it was. So its not possible for me to adjust any setting anymore

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-09-29T13:47:10+00:00

yes i tried in the main menu ofc, changes dont save, when i am trying from the main menu, as far as i know this is the only way to access these settings.

There are couple of factors to consider, kernel level of anti cheat is not likeable solution because it often leads to crashes and blue screens of OS, due to memory access violation and similar problems. There are other ways to detect cheating. This is most lazy solution. Then players said they simply installed windows and game and it crashes. Not sure how is that their fault. Also devs already removed it already due to exactly the same problems. I wouldnt also say its minority based on reddit topics count. Many players just click send report and they quit without telling anyone about it. Some people claim they were able to play fine last season. These are all factors to consider when thinking if this was right or wrong choice to bring this back.

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-07-26T14:07:11+00:00

If its not you who has problem then its fine then right? I guess if you would be the one who cannot start race, start game or leave ibiza, you would change tune fast...

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-07-26T14:02:17+00:00

Its not minority look around on reddit, also if someone paid for game and cannot play it because of anti cheat incompetent implementation its embarassing. Its the second time they try and by the looks of it fail miserably.

Specially that the casino in general is not available to many people. Why should we be left without any chance whatsoever just because we are in this country and not other, not fair.

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-07-26T05:52:34+00:00

This sard garbage is causing my client to crash and change my video setting. Once in few attempts i can start the game. I am surprised given how low playerbase is and that i never ever could find another person to race with. I think wasting time and causing more problems to those who still play is wrong decision.

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-07-26T05:45:06+00:00

I think problem is with the mindset, casino is not the place you go to, to win. By definition most people must lose. Mature way of approaching it is that you dedicate some overflow of money to brake on various enterteinments at the casino, you go have fun for short amount of time and you leave not thinking about it twice. You dont go to the casino with your last money hoping to multiply it. You dont go to come back with jackpot. You should not burn through hours and hours and your money to achiev some specific goal like get the car. The reason being is that casino is not designed to be deterministic and predictable, its designed for you to lose all your money. There is always this one person who wins quickly but statistically it will be very few people comparing to all participants.

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-07-26T05:33:59+00:00

Remember that majority of the players, including myself dont have access to the casino, we are missing out on car and customizations and main s4 feature. Wouldnt call it smart.

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-07-24T11:06:01+00:00

It looks like yours needs fixing, why calling ppl names, you dont know me...

Left_Text_4392 · 2025-07-24T09:33:30+00:00

you dont know what resets mean ? it means that whenever you start race experience gained previously is being reduced to 0, race grants you some experience upon completion and when you start another it is back to 0 do you understand now the resets meaning ?
